Secretary

The Department of Finance is seeking a skilled secretary for the front office in the Management Secretariat.

Order in things, control over bills, service when it matters, overview when things are busy, and everything with a smile. If this is you, then you might be our new colleague.

The management secretariat consists of several functions related to the internal operations of the department as well as in relation to servicing the Naalakkersuisut and the permanent secretary. You will primarily be engaged in what we call the "Pre-office," but you will also handle tasks directly for the permanent secretary and occasionally for our Naalakkersuisut.

You are referring to the department manager in the Front Office.

About you

You are office trained and preferably have an academic education, and it is fine if you already have experience with secretarial work, preferably from self-government or from a municipality.

If you are familiar with F2, IRIS, Management Information, and Web-Tas, then that is perfect, and it is also fine if you are used to using Word and Excel.

You have a good overview, and you understand how to plan so that things are ready at the right time, avoiding surprises. You emphasize having control over things. You are not afraid to take responsibility and take initiative if there is something that needs to be done. You just ask if you are in doubt.

You thrive in an environment with an informal tone, short command lines, and engaged colleagues. It comes naturally to you to provide good service. You are helpful to your colleagues.

It is a great advantage if you are bilingual.

About the position

You will especially be able to engage in:

• Distribution of mail sent to the department's shared email and preparation of the department's daily newsletter "Ullumi pisussat - Today"
• Help ensure the department's submission of material for political consideration.
• Issuance of the department's publications
• Be involved in servicing the Minister and the head of department.
• Ensure the department's general archiving and documentation, and order in the archive room.
• Reporting of free goods for the Minister.
• Ordering of office supplies
• Maintain the department's accounting instructions and inventory list.
• Ad hoc tasks

Special tasks for the permanent secretary

There are also specific tasks associated with servicing the head of department. This means that you have an eye for the practical matters and the planning around the head of department's calendar, meetings, travels, and representative tasks, and that you independently take the initiative for smaller practical tasks that support a well-functioning and professional workday.

• Participate in contract management and other practical tasks, etc.
• Keep track of the permanent secretary's "shadow cases" in relation to larger projects.
• Keep track of materials to/from meetings and ensure that they are stored and archived.
• Provide practical assistance in planning and preparing meetings, conferences, and business trips.
• Preparation of letters and internal documents, etc., that require standard responses.
• Keep track of schedules and deadlines for projects and initiatives in which the department head is involved.

The department aims to promote equality regardless of gender, ethnic background, religious belief, or disability. Likewise, we see life experience and personal maturity as an advantage, which is why we encourage applications regardless of age.
